FROM COT HALIi TO CITY HALL,
The strenuous opposition of a few prop,
erty-ownersto the proposed bridgo extension
to the Brooklyn City Hall may defer but
cannot prevent that improvement.
The general sentiment of Brooklyn un
doubtedly is strongly in 'favor of the ex.
tension. The rapid growth of tho remoter
sections of the city renders it more and
more desirable each year that the main en
trance to the bridge should be at the radi
ating centre of population.

The wild-eyed editor gWes tables showing
the number of voters in several Southern
districts, the number of votes polled during
the riot of carpetbagism, and the greatly
diminished number cast at tho last Congres
sional elections. His inference, of course, is
that tho negro vote has been suppressed and
" the Constitution nullified."
Chestnuts! Bats I Mr, Halstxas's own
tables show that the Republicans ran no can.
dldates last year in many of the districts.
The national leaders of that party deliber
ately abandoned their organization at the
South in 1880, and havo made no contest
there since. The Field-Marshal is the true
Pre-Hlstorlo Man in Ohio.
The sentimental gushers who kept sym
pathy on tap for the unrepentant Chicago
Anarchists will probably have none left for
the latest of their victims a policeman who,
after suffering two amputations, has lost his
reason as the result of his sufferings.
It is probable that one Englishman's mouth
is stopped against sneers at the " dollar
loving Americans." With a fat fee for his
eulogy on his most dear friend, Bxxcnxn, Dr.

As no election is sending, it will perhaps do
no harm to have the Princo of the House of
Gould going through tho West " indorsing

But under other circumstances it would not

The election at Atlanta proves that the

Mbupsis, Term., Nov. 26. Nothing llko
tho extensive forest fires whioh are now
slowly smouldering away bos ovor boon
known in this part of the country. Tho ro
ports of destruction aro widespread. Thou
sands of cattle havo perished In tho open
fields. In Tennessee the principal damago is
dono along the lines of the Louisville and
Nashville and the Chesapoako and Ohio
roads. The latter runs through a heavily
timbered country from this city to the Ken
tucky line, and a great part of the freight
that it handles consists of lumber for North,
orn markets, especially oypress, which is bo
coming very valuable owing to its compara
tive scarcity In other lumbering localities.
This timber will be " deadened " or killed
by the fires, and the monetary loss must bo
enormous. The lumbor town Of Harris has
been burned and Bovcral others partially are
destroyed. Along tho line of the Kansas
City, Memphis and JJirmingbam road tho
county is afire nearly all tho wav from Mem
phis to Birmingham.
The coal mines in Northwestern Alabama
were threatened for a time and hundreds of
miners laid down their picks to fight tho
flames. The coal in that region lies very
near tho surface, cropping out of the hill
aides in many places, and should fire get a
hold on the fields tho loss would be incul
able. In Arkansas the flames have caused almost
as wide. spread devastation as they havo in
Tennessee. For fifty miles back from the
Mississippi River the desolation is general.
A groat number of cotton gins and dwolling.
houses In the prairie country have been de
stroyed. In the neighborhood of Okolona,
Ark., forest fires are swooping tho moun
tains, valleys and bottoms alike, destroying
fencing and other property. Hundreds of
cattle are annually wintered in the cane
belt. It is all burned.

MR, SCHWAB INSURED FOR $60,000.
His Bon Denies the Horn or of Rnlclde and
Expects to Fay the Creditors In Full.
The door of Schwab & Son's offloe at 655
Broadway was locked this morning whon a
Wobls reporter called, but a stout man on
guard openod it and called Mr. Emanuel
Schwab, the son of the late head of the firm.
Ho is about twenty-three years old, and his
manner showed that ho felt the heavy burden
thrown upon him by' the tragic death of his
father by a fall down an elevator shaft and
tho assignment mado necessary as a conse
quence, "Yob," ho said, "I am to meet my cred
itors to-day, and expect to pay 100 cents on
tho dollar. The liabilities are somewhere
about 890,000. I made the assignment in
order that all tho creditors might have an
equal chance.''
The report that suits wero brought against
tho firm by Oberheuffer. Abegg & Co., Ballin
& Bierman, Loeb & Sohoenneld and Auff.
mordt &, Co. is not true. Tho only suit is by
Hart & Lindgens, and that is for $600.
" My father was on of the oldest subjects
of life insurance in the country. For twenty
years he has carried large policies, aggregat
ing about $60,000. We used to laugh ut him
at home about this.
"Ho traveled eight months in tho year and
that is why he got accident policies. After
the terriblo railroad acoldenta of tho past
year he has increased them.
"My fathor' stepped down the elevator
Bhaft by accident. He uttered a cry as he
fell. I was standing here when it happened."
Mr. Schwab was standing at the door of
tho store at the timo he made thlB remark.
The firm has been embarrassed for several
weeks, and Bradstreet's took away their
rating several months ago. Tho policies
wero made out in favor of Mr.Sohwab's wife.
Mr. Schwab's life was insured in the New
York Life for $10,000; United States Mutual

LEFR08I ON THE LOUISIANA BAYOUS.
Aa TLforta4:iCh)ayilBiAh TfsvniS:Af aa
Finrehe Anotbat In Vermilion Purist.
Nbw Oblzakb, Not. 25. The discovery of
two lepers in Philadelphia and tho excite
ment which this event seoms to havo caused
was a modified reproduction of a far more
serious affair, which, indeed, reached tho
dignity of it panio, in a Southwestern Loulsl
ana town this BUinmor. It is a notorious fact
that leprosy has .existed and exists to-doy
in Southern Louisiana, but with rare ex
ceptions it is confined to certain woll
deflned localities, where the lepers live by
themselves in colonics, holding no intercourse
with their neighbors and Boparated wholly
from the world. The two principal le)er
colonies are on the lower end of Bayou La
Fourche and a prairie in Vermilion Parish.
The La Fourche lepers are tho most numer
ous. Thoy live in a swampy country, out
of all linos of travel and, indoed, not easily
reached. They are quiet, well-behavod peo
ple, intermarrying with each other and thus
perpetuating the fearful heritage to their
children. The State Board of Health has
mode several attempts to investigate them,
but they were so fearful of being arrested and
taken up that they fled to the swampa when
the officers visited thorn.
The existence of leprosy In the La Fourcho
district is well known, but the fact that tho
lepers held intercourse with those in good
health caused little alarm on their account.
Early this summer, however, reports became
current that leprosy existed in the town of
St. Martinsvillo, the principal town of that
section, St. Martinsville is known as the
Acadian Paris. It is a town of 2,500 poople,
beautifully situated on tho bonks of tho
Teche, and one of the oldest settlements in
tho State. It is the seat of Longfellow's
poem of "Evangeline," has a population
mainly of Acadian origin, with old-fashioned
houses, streets lined with orange trees, and
with the civilization of Franco a century
ago. It lies at tho head of navigation on the
Teche. and since a railroad has been built
there has become an important trade centre,
and does a large business with tho surround
ing country.
The rumor of leprosy was first heard this
summer. The story gathered strength as it
travelled, and within a couple of weeks had
reached terrifying proportions. It was de
clared through all tho surrounding country
that there were from six hundred to ono
thousand lepers in St. Martinsville. Tho
town was shunnod as though it was plague
stricken. The people of the country refused
to venture within its limits ; its business died
away, and a lino was drawn around tho town
into which but few Tentured. Every one
suspected his neighbor of leprosy. Kissing
and handshaking went out of practice, and
the barbers had nothing to do because no ono
was brave enough to be shaved by a razor
which might have been used previously on a
leper. Two or three families who suffered
from boils became pariahs, as every one re
fused to have any relations with them.
This condition of affairs, which continued
for a few weeks, becomo finally intolerable,
and the citizens of St. Martinsville requested
the State Board of Health to send a commit
tee to the town and investigate the alleged
prevalence of leprosy there so as to relieve
the town from the panicky feeling. The
President of the Board himself went, and an
investigation was begun, the like of which
has never before been seen. Every person in
the town who was suspocted, every one who
had so much as a pimple on nisface or
hands, was examined. Tho investigation
showed that the leprosy story had this muoh
foundation, that there were four porsons,two
women and two children, undoubtedly af
fected with this loathsome and disgusting
disease, and two others who appeared to have
it, but of whom it could not be fully deter
mined. The lepers were removed and iso
lated, and tho panio disappeared as rapidly
as it had originated. The town of St. Martins
ville is now free of the disease, and doing its
usual very good business.

PECULIAR TO CITY HORSES.
HlpBons Skinned by Contact with Passing
Wagons.
Two young men of fox-hunting proclivi
ties walked along lower Broadway yesterday.
Their leisurely pace indicated that they were
out for a stroll.
"I say, Tommy, old boy," said one of
them, "you're o pretty good hand with a
horse yourself. Tell me what's peculiar about
those work horses downtown. I'll go you a
soat at the theatre that you can't tell."
" Give mo five minutes to look at the horses
In," said Tommy, " and I'll go you."
" Done," said tho other.
Tommy looked earnestly at every horse
that passed him, but could see nothing pe
culiar about any of them. To his unobserv
ing eye they all seemed to be well-fed, well,
groomed, strong, .patient and willing. Ho
gave it up.
" My dear boy, where are your eyes?" said
his friend. " Don't you see that seven horses
out of every ten have a bare spot on each hip
bone ? With some only the hair is off, while
with the rest both hair and skin are gone."
" It's a fact, upon my word," said Tommy.
" How does it happen that way ?"
" You will observe," continued his friend,
by way of answering the question, " that tho
soint of the hip-bone is the only part of the
horse that is skinned. Now, why is it? you
naturally ask the question. I confess that I
cannot give an infallible answer to the ques.
tion. In the first place these bones aro the
two most prominent parts of the horse's an
atomy. When the horse is caught in a block,
ado downtown, he sometimes gets squeezed
by other horses or passing wagons. His hip
bones strike everything that comes along. I
suppose that the rubbing of the horse against
his Btall has something to do with it. This is
peculiar to city horses. Real fat horses, you
will notico, are not skinned in this way, as a
rule, but some of them are. My dear boy,
you've seen so many things in New York that
you now can't see anything. Let us go and
get those seats."
